Facebook recently started advertising a virtual reality headset that they are selling. It's kind of ironic because someone came to me about a year ago about a VR headset, and said Facebook was considering a certain VR headset and that I should look into it as a possible investment. Well I'm sure you could imagine my surprise when I saw the commercial for the VR headset Facebook is promoting. What I am not sure of is if it's the same company that this person shared with me a while back.
None the less Facebook is moving into making social media more futuristic. How they are going to do this I don't know. I do remember the videos I watched made it seem as though you would be able to have a better gaming experience with this VR headset, but there was no mention of using it for social media. But one would have to believe that if a social media giant is now selling a VR headset, it must be for the purpose of that headset being compatible with said social media giants platform. I guess it will be a matter of time before we are sitting on our couch in Texas, but we are feeling the experience of sitting in a faily member or good friends living room thousands of miles away.
Are we really ready for this type of virtual personalization? Are we ready for virtual time travel? Are we ready to go where no ones gone before and allow these companies to infiltrate our homes? How far will we go to be entertained?
